  • Donald Trump has remained uncharacteristically quiet as his administration becomes embroiled in scandal after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's comments on foreign worker visas

The article from MSN discusses the internal discord within the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, focusing on Donald Trump's silence regarding the controversial stances of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on immigration and visa policies. Elon Musk has publicly criticized the H-1B visa program, calling it "indentured servitude," while Vivek Ramaswamy, a GOP presidential candidate, has echoed these sentiments by advocating for a merit-based immigration system. This has led to a split among Trump's supporters, with some aligning with Musk and Ramaswamy's views, while others feel these positions contradict Trump's previous policies on immigration. Trump's lack of commentary on this issue is interpreted as a strategic silence, possibly to avoid alienating different factions within his voter base as he navigates his political future. This situation highlights the evolving dynamics and potential fractures within the MAGA coalition as it grapples with its identity and policy priorities post-Trump presidency.
